About CargoFromTurkey
We are an Istanbul-based freight forwarding desk focused on one thing: moving your cargo from Turkey to the world — with air, sea, and road options you can actually compare, book, and track.
Our story
Built for exporters and importers who outgrew generic forwarding
CargoFromTurkey was founded on a simple observation: international shipping from Turkey often breaks down in the gaps — between the airline cut-off, the container yard, and the truck gate. We built a team that owns the full thread instead of passing blame down the chain.
Today we work with manufacturers, trading houses, e-commerce brands, and project contractors who need realistic schedules, clear documentation, and a single point of contact when something changes at the last minute.
Purpose
Mission & vision
Mission
Make global freight from Turkey predictable
We translate carrier capacity, port congestion, and road transit norms into decisions you can defend internally — with paperwork and milestones aligned to how you already run procurement or sales ops.
Vision
Be the reference name for cargofromturkey
When someone searches for reliable logistics out of Turkey, we want our standard of communication and execution to define what “good” looks like — multimodal, transparent, and accountable.
Values
What we protect on every file
These are not wall posters — they are how we decide when a routing is acceptable, when to escalate, and when to say no to cargo we cannot move safely or compliantly.
Ownership to POD
A named operations lead per active shipment — amendments, reroutes, and proof of delivery in one conversation.
Mode-neutral advice
We recommend the stack that fits your SLA and budget — not the mode that pays us the highest margin.
Compliance first
Dangerous goods, dual-use, and restricted commodities are screened with care; we decline work we cannot support responsibly.
Why Turkey
A manufacturing and transshipment hub on your side
Turkey connects European buyers, MENA growth markets, and Asian supply chains. From Istanbul airports to Mersin and Izmir ports, plus dense road corridors into the EU and beyond, we help you use that geography as a lever — not a constraint.
- Strategic gateways: IST/SAW, ADB, Mersin, Ambarlı, and inland pickup networks
- Experience with textiles, machinery, automotive parts, chemicals (where permitted), and FMCG
- Multilingual desk: English, Turkish, and German for day-to-day coordination
How we operate
A control-tower mindset
Carriers move boxes and containers; we coordinate intent, timing, and exceptions so your supply chain keeps its story straight.
-
Commercial intake
We capture dimensions, stackability, HS orientation, Incoterms®, and your internal deadlines before we touch rates.
-
Routing design
Air, sea, road, or a combination — each option lists cut-offs, transit bands, and where risk concentrates.
-
Execution & visibility
Bookings, SI/BL drafts, tracking events, and POD — consolidated so you are not chasing three inboxes.
